I'll get us started with two objectives I have used in PL sessions:

Here are the two I used today (10-29-09)
---Students will identify 27 commonly used elements by using a computer, the internet, and a teacher handout
---Students will discover one fact, something interesting, and something new about the 27 common elements through the website “chem4kids.com”
